I miss the days when my kids were babies. My babies are now a ‘tween and a teen. Since I can’t have anymore children (I’m too old) I will have to wait to be a grandmother some day.
I still love to look at baby products. I don’t think I can walk past an aisle of baby clothes and not stop and “oooh” and “ahhh” looking at them. I sometimes find myself even reading baby gear reviews, just for the fun of it.
I am truly amazed at just how much things have changed, even since my son, who is 12, was a baby. Infant products have gone so “hi-tech”. Some actually have a sci-fi look to them. To show you what I mean check out this newborn cradle that I found at ModParent.com.
That is a seriously cool looking cradle. I don’t know if I would have purchased it for my kids (I would have worried about the dog knocking it over). I would probably stick to the bassinet that my kids had. Still I think this infant cradle is pretty cool looking.
After I saw that infant cradle I was curious to see what other modern, trendy and chic baby products ModParent offered.
One of the first things I noticed are the car seats. WOW! They look to be a million times better then the ones my kids had when they were little. I wish they had such safe and secure car seats 10+ years ago.
Check out the Britax Frontier 85 carseat.
The car seat has CUP HOLDERS! Wow!
I love that it’s available in different colors, even different patterns including hot pink and a cow pattern.
When my son was little they were just starting the five-point harness car seats. They are certainly a lot more protective then the non-harness ones.
Another carseat that caught my eye was the Britax Marathon 70. The reason why is because when my son was born he was 9 weeks premature. When he left the hospital after 33 days he was only 4 pounds, 2 ounces and around 14″ long. He was totally lost in the car seat. We had to pad all around him with receiving blankets. It made me so nervous that he wasn’t protective enough, or that he wasn’t comfortable.
What I like about the Britax Marathon 70 carseat is that it looks perfect for an infant. I love how it’s reclined just enough and it looks well padded all the way around. It even has the five-point harness. I wish I had this one for our son.
What I liked about ModParent is that they not only showcase some really amazing looking products but they also give you the prices for the products from various retailers so you can shop around for the best price.
Takes for example the above carseat. ModParent has the prices of this very same carseat from five different retailers. Amazon carries it for the least expensive price ($217.49) where as a store name Ivy League Tots sells it for the most expensive price ($246.99). That is a $29.50 savings.
ModParent has products from well name brands including Bloom, Ergo Baby, Evenflo, Ju Ju Be and Snugli to name a few.
For the entire month of October ModParent will be donating 50% of their profits to help feed hungry children. That is half of their profits. Wow! How often do you see a company do something like that? You can find out more about their charitable efforts by visiting their website and clicking on the top right corner.
If you are looking for baby products, whether it’s for yourself or for a gift, why not make MoParent your first stop. Not only will you be getting modern products but you will also be helping out hungry children.
